Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
School Bullying and the Impact on Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. David O'Sullivan:
I will come back to Senator Mullen's point on building resilience. The inclusion of well-being on the curriculum is welcome. It should be underpinned by supports, training and resources for these key skills. If interactions occur, then pupils can deal with them through certain skills. This can help to build capacity in pupils to deal with incidental matters as they arise as well.
